hello and welcome!
I‘m Hana Mäkinen, a Professional Animal Communicator, End-of-Life & After-Life Grief Specialist. I support you in navigating your beloved pet's aging, illness, diagnosis and end-of-life journey. I help you understand your pet’s needs, wishes, and perspective so that you can walk this path with more presence, clarity, and peace. My work supports not just your pet, but you, because grief doesn’t live only in the mind; it lives in the heart, the body, and your everyday life.
My approach is grounded in over 30 years of experience in natural health and healing, a degree in psychology, and advanced training in trauma-informed care, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic healing. I’ve trained with the Gurney Institute of Animal Communication, completed David Kessler’s Grief Educator Program, and finished my second year of a 3-year Somatic Experiencing Practitioner Training program.
My in-depth understanding of death, dying, trauma and grief comes from my own personal losses of humans and animals. My healing journey of traumatic pet deaths made me realize how many struggle silently and feel alone in their grief. I am here to support you through your grief and walk alongside you as you navigate your path. Animals are family, and your relationship with your pet is a unique and special connection. Through animal communication, support, and education, you gain deeper insights into your pet’s perspective, yourself, and your relationship so that you may walk this journey gracefully beside them.
